Fortune Island

Paper Mario: Color Splash guide hub

For the final enemy battle, you need the Instant Camera card, which you won in the quiz show of the cobalt bunker.

Leave the ship, jump against the question mark block to your right and march ashore. Run all the way to the left, talk to the captain and then jump up one platform after another. Take care of the Koopa clan clan clan, loot another question mark block and ram the four stakes to your right into the ground. Then a pipe appears with which you get into the parallel world.

There you come across two question mark blocks on your left, in the middle of which an invisible third floats. Jump down and take care of the white spots to your right. At the end of the bridge you reach a plank, which you can also color. March back to the left until you reach the entrance of the skull. On your left you come across a ghost, while on the front there are some things to color. But beware: As soon as you step onto the bright platform, jump a Dry Bones to you from below!

Enter the skull and ignore the white spots for now. Pay attention to the ice-throwing Koopa clan clan clan over you and avoid his attacks when he sees you. Plaster the two Boos to your right, jump up to Dry Bones and hit the Cork several times until it falls out of the wall. Go after it, return to the green pipe and enter the normal world.

Run to the left and climb over the Cork into the cave. Jump over the barrels and eliminate the fireball throwing Koopa clan clan clan. Jump against the question mark block and run forward to the left. Hit a pit in the wall and climb on the barrels to remove another cork from the wall. Go through the pit, grab another card and climb into the skull again.


Jump against the unfolding block and run back to the barrels you jumped over earlier. Strike on the middle and go back to the left.

March back through the door and follow the path to the right. Remember both the positions of the Spike Trap and all the pillars that burn in the background. Enter the next area and walk to the door, whereupon Huey walks through on her own. Follow him and leave the room right away. March to the right and open the four chests where you will find three coins and a letter. Color the middle chest, open it as well and jump in. Then head forward, jump to the ground and return to the green pipe to travel to the parallel world.


Go to the left and climb from the right into the skull. Run over the new bridge, take care of the ice bro. and walk through the back door. Plaster the Dry Bones and remember the Spike Trap you should have remembered from the normal world. There you had to run on the first two steps at the back, on the third front and on the fourth in the middle. Repeats the movement pattern on the following stages in order not to fall in any of the invisible traps.

Then you come to the pillars that are partially burning. When you hit them with the hammer, you change the state from burning to non-burning or from non-burning to burning. You must make sure that just like in the normal world, the second, fifth and sixth pillars burn. For this, strike once against the said pillars and additionally against the fourth, so that it does NOT burn anymore. Then the door to your right opens, before which a question mark block floats.

Go through the door and keep running until you come across the completely clouded room. Follow the path to the right and smash the boxes. Jump into the pit, take care of the boos further back and go to the yellow captain. Talk to him and squeeze out his Charcoal Charcoal Charcoal Grill. Then head forward to leave the cave and walk left to the green pipe to return to the normal world.

Return once more to the parallel world and go into the formerly clouded space. Plunder the chest and squeeze out the Salt and Pepper.


Boss Fight: Wendy Koopa clan clan clan

Go into the normal world and find there also the formerly clouded room. Approach the big color star until you are challenged by Wendy.

Use the usual big hammer or jump attacks against Wendy and have a mushroom ready every now and then to heal you. Your opponent will throw five objects per round to your head in the truest sense of the word. These are either coins or other opponents. You should especially block the latter, because otherwise they will have to line up in front of you and be eliminated in battle.

Once Wendy has lost more than half of her life energy, she will curl up in her tank and rotate wildly. Now use the Instant Camera you won in the quiz show. Then you take a picture of yourself, with which you trick Wendy’s unique fetter attack. After that, it should be easy for you to defeat the weakened Wendy and take home the big purple color star.
